2018 Chardonnay, Bien Nacido Vineyard-Block UU

"The 2018 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU sports a light gold color as well as a pure, crystalline bouquet of honeyed apple, pineapple, citrus blossom, spice, and white flower. It has a kiss of background oak, but it's beautifully integrated, and the fruit is front and center. With good acidity, a balanced, layered texture, and a great finish, it’s already drinking nicely yet should keep for 7-8 years, if you're so inclined." - JebDunnuck.com, 93 Points

"The 2018 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU is light on its feet and supremely gracious. As always, this is a Chardonnay that was grafted onto Riesling rootstock, is so unique. The aromas and flavors are beautifully lifted throughout. Lime, ginger, lemon confit and white flowers add to the wine's total sense of allure." - Vinous, 93 Points

"Firm and juicy with ripe apple fruit, silky and crisp with tangy style – like biting into a perfectly ripe Macintosh; smooth, balanced and long." - Tasting Panel, 91 Points
